Not quite the monarch that I expected :))

@merrelyn I'll post the real thing(s) on anniversay day. It's definitely a Monarch though, isn't it? Could have been a photo of Queenie except I don't have one!

I remember my grandmother having a stove similar to this.

@pej I couldn’t resist taking a photo, had it been anywhere else it wouldn’t have had the same impact. Monarch stove in a Monarch sanctuary, brilliant. They had masses of old farm and domestic machines and equipment. A wonderful place with Monarchs as a focus. j

@rontu I didn’t specify the kind of Monarch...j

You have photographed prettier monarchs but I do like this one!±

@lostphojo I couldn’t resist it! There was a history lesson at the farm with domestic and farming equipment from many years ago. Wonderful to see.
The real thing comes on the 27th.

Good one! (I was led here by the "Fremont" tag, rather than the "monarch" tag!)
